The height of a rocket a given number of seconds after it is released is modeled by h (t) = 6t2 + 32t + 10. what does t represent?

The variable t represents the number of seconds that have passed since the rocket was released.

Here we know that the height of a rocket a given number of seconds after it is released is modeled by:

h(t) = 6*t^2 + 32*t + 10

So this is a function that relates height with time in seconds, we know that the function models the height, so we must have that:

[h(t)] is equivalent to height.

This means that the other variable, t, must be related to time in seconds.

Then we can conclude that the variable t represents the number of seconds after the rocket has been released.

 t represents the the number of seconds after rocket is released.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The height of a rocket a given number of seconds after it is released is modeled by .

Here h (height) is the dependent variable , which depends on the number of seconds after rocket is released (independent variable).

Since the independent variable in the function is t, then t must represents the the number of seconds after rocket is released.
